IMPROVEMENT IN WIRE BOTTLE-STANDS. A

Specification forming part ofLeIters Patent No. 145,284, dated December9, 1873; application filed October 23, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, GEORGE D. DUDLEY, of Lowell, in the county ofMiddlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Vire Stands or Holders, of which the following isa specification:

My invention relates to wire stands or holders for receiving and holdingbottles or other such articles; and consists in a novel construction,combination, and arrangement of parts, which have for their object toproduce a cheap, useful, and ornamental article.

Figure l is a plan or top view. Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

The apparatus consists of a wire wheel, A, with arms B connected withits rim, and with a central shaft,-C, which enters the wire step D ofthe stand. This shaf't rises above the wheel, and braces b extend fromthe upper part of the shaft tohthe rim of the wheel, to give it strengthand keep it in position. To the rim of the wheel a series of receptaclesis suspended by hook-rods d, each being made with receiving andsupporting parts g and s. The central wire stand with the wire step, hascurved braces E, the lower ends of which connect with a 'circular base,F, provided with legs H, and, if preferred, the legs may be dispensedwith, or both these and the base could be discarded, and the braces madeto serve as the legs of the stand.

Each of the finished parts, before being put together as a whole, iscoated with tin, in the usual way, to give it the beautiful lustre andnish so desirable with wire goods.

I am aware that skillful artisans may modify my improved stand invarious ways, by changA ing the form or shape of the parts thereof,without departing from the principles of my invention, and I considerany and all immaterial changes as within the scope of my invention.

I claiml. The revolving wire holder, made up of the wheel A, shaft O,and pendent receivers s g, constructed substantially in the mannerdescribed.

2. In combination with the revolving holder, the base-stand, made up ofthe sleeve D and legs E, substantially in the manner described.
